Products in Healthcare & Pharma: Coating System

BIOGRUND’s one-step film coating system AquaPolish® provides a protective and fast release film on tablets, pellets, granules and capsules. It is a unique, dry milled, homogeneous blend of selected film-forming cellulose ethers with plasticizing and coloring additives.

AquaPolish® SR creates a strong and insoluble film coating with good adhesion, through which the active ingredient diffuses. The use of highquality, insoluble cellulose ethers or Ammonio Methacrylate Copolymer (Type A, Type B) in combination with soluble cellulose ethers, plasticizing and coloring additives, guarantees film coatings that are always reproducible. By varying the type and amount of the cellulose ethers used, a wide range of release profiles can be achieved.

BIOGRUND provides a wide range of ready-to-use film coating products which includes AquaPolish® MS. It's a moisture sealing product. It provides a protective and fast soluble film on tablets, pellets, granules and capsules. It is a combination of selected film-forming cellulose ethers with plasticizing and coloring additives. The use of hydrophobic excipients gives excellent protection against moisture. The product is designed to improve the coating process and can be applied using conventional or modern coating equipment. It is a homogeneous, dry-milled, powdered compound, developed for the coating of all kinds of solid dosage forms. It is easily soluble and a reproducible high-quality film coating can be achieved. Clear, white and colored preparations can be tailor-made according to customer requirements. Contact us for more information.

AquaPolish® PRO is a dry milled powdered compound is a ready-to-use film coating system that provides moisture sealing properties and a highly flexible film on solid oral dosage forms for immediate release profiles.

AquaPolish® HS is a combination of film-forming polymer METHOCEL™ Premium VLV with plasticizing and coloring additives. The very low viscosity of HPMC enables high solid content dispersions for high speed productivity.

BIOGRUND’s one-step film coating system AquaPolish® OM perfectly masks bad and strong smelling actives (e. g. herbal extracts). Sealing these characteristics by using AquaPolish® OM enables a pleasant application for the consumer and increases patient compliance. It provides a protective and economical coating on tablets, pellets, granules and capsules without influencing the disintegration time.

AquaPolish® TC is a combination of HPMC, HPC and other cellulose ethers with taste masking additives. Due to the further additives, which form a hardly soluble film, a tastemasking is achieved.

IsuPolish® FSC is a unique, dry milled, homogeneous blend of hypromellose, Isomalt or sucrose, pigments and additional excipients. Compared to a traditional sugar-coating process this product assists you to speed up the production process.

BonuTone® is a ready-to-use master batch, developed for the coloring of all kinds of creams, sugar-coating dispersions and chewing gums. It can be used in liquids in a simple and easy way.

BIOGRUND’s sugar-coating system IsuPolish® provides a sugar-free dragée which has a pure and natural taste. It is suitable for diabetics (because of its low glycemic and low insulinemic response) and its cario-static properties.

AquaPolish® C has been developed to improve running production processes. Furthermore, it is an ideal basis for researching new solutions. The contract manufactured compound is a unique, dry milled, homogeneous blend of film coating polymers, plasticizing and coloring additives and other excipients. It can be applied by using conventional or modern coating equipment.

BIOGRUND’s one-step film coating system AquaPolish® PVA provides a protective and fast soluble film on tablets, pellets, granules and capsules. It is a unique, dry milled, homogeneous blend of selected filmforming polymers with coloring and a few plasticizing additives. AquaPolish® PVA is a combination of polyvinyl alcohol and optional HPC, which gives excellent moisture sealing by using aqueous solvent applications.

Microcrystalline Waxes are a type of wax produced by de-oiling petrolatum, as part of the petroleum refining process. They differ from paraffin waxes in that they have poorly defined crystalline structure, darker color, and generally higher viscosity and melting points. Microcrystalline Waxes are moisture free and range in color from a white to a brown, depending on the degree of refinement. Highly refined micros are white. Microcrystalline Waxes excellent for laminating, coating, or hardening materials.
